With just a few weekends of drywalling by Kevin, my dad + Kev's dad, we were ready for our friend Kris to come in to do the mudding and taping.
Fast forward to today and here we are. We still have the baseboards and trim to put up in the next few days, so until that's up + finished, you get little views of the room! The TV is on the little wall you see in the image above -
with my side of the road find, after some major cleaning and a little sanding, fits perfectly.
Inspired by my friend Paula at Two Ellie + her gorgeous console, a few little ferns brighten up the space. I found some little planters for them today- ( not shown :)
Gallery wall.. a collection of frames gathered through the years at PB.. some still needing photos or art- I don't mind waiting to fill them with the right pieces!
our kijiji sofa purchase - it's perfect + I couldn't be happier. It's so satisfying to save money. I've already washed the slipcovers and they wash like a dream!So there it is so far.. I'm working on a little desk area and will share that soon!

Looking so fab! I especially love how your "side of the road find" is looking in the room!
Thanks so much! I never dreamed I would like my side of the road find so much.. I had a little doubt! It truly looked like junk at first, but when I was cleaning it, you can see how well made it is- Someone in the neighborhood was using it in their garage, as a filing system for their business. I'm so glad they didn't need it anymore!
